^™Huygens Cluster Analyzer

Obtain reliable analysis fast and easy.

- Available as an add-on for all Huygens LOCALIZER smlm packages.-
- Present in Huygens-Object-Analyzer for Essential and Professional.-

Anyone interested in cluster-related research questions recieves an answer within minutes using Huygens Cluster Analyzer. The built-in Tutorial guides you as a beginner through the first steps of its use. Available FOCAL and DBSCAN algoritms for clustering localizations are thouroughly described, and each parameter is well-explained via a tool tip.
When adjusting the FOCAL and DBSCAN parameters, clusters are 3D-rendered at the highest possible quality and counted on-the-fly. By simply clicking the button "Analyze all clusters" results are presented in a table within a split second. Parameters for the table can be selected as presets and include localization density, volume, width, length, distances, and colocalization. They are highlighted in the table when selecting the corresponding cluster within the 3D scene - and vice versa. Various filters can be applied to focus on specific clusters, and the final analysis results can be exported for use in spreadsheets and Matlab.

Animation description
Clusters are 3D rendered at the best possible quality with Huygens ray-tracing, and analyzed at highest detail within a split second.
